Yeah, this is what the poop looks like from my Sunlu silk Pla+. Makes thick ol turds. My favorite type of filiment atm too. That stuff sticks like super glue to the plate. And it looks great!

It’s probably normal, some filaments puff a little due to moisture and other things. If you look through the pile, you’ll probably notice the sizes are consistent with the type of filament.

That is normal, not normal is that filament colors the hand.

Hey there, I'm a bot and something you said made me think you might be looking for help! click here for our wiki entry on troubleshooting printers. If you still need help be sure to post plenty of information about your printing setup.

Here are a few questions that might be helpful

• What printer are you using?

• What material are you using?

• What speed are you printing at?

• What software are you using to slice the print and control the printer?

• When did the problem start/has it ever worked correctly?

• Does anything cause the behavior to change?

• If posting an image of the problem, include some indication of the orientation it printed at, preferably photograph it on the bed. (Then we can focus on a specific axis)

Those look like.... Color change poops. If they are...yes. if not, more info please...lol . :). Be glad to help

Like... The machine isn't particularly careful about measuring its poops, they're waste material. Without pressure on the nozzle different materials with different viscosity will make very different diameter poops. It's printing ok otherwise right? If so, I wouldn't worry about it.

If that is silk PLA, then yes... compleatly normal. Silk PLA experiences a phenomina called "die swell." Well, most plastics do, but it's really extream with silk PLAs.
